That was extremly interesting. Made quite a read. Makes you want to build a steam engine, put it on wheels or strap a propeler and away we go.
While I was reading the first part, the image of Scotty (Star Trek) telling Jim (Kpt. Kirk) the damage his engines took. I never saw TOS, but from what I saw from the movies and Relics (A TNG episode), he spoke like an old enginner. It also reminded me of another movie in which the enginner talked like that, but I can't remember the name (some sci-fi movie).
